Slow and Steady Fic Chapter 14: Armageddon Game
Doing the "only one bed" trope for Julian and Keiko when they go to a conference to present a joint paper? It's more likely than you think.
"You're Chief of Operations, I'm a doctor, and Keiko's a botanist. And until she can be a botanist again, I'm not sure she's ever really going to be happy."
- Julian Bashir (The House of Quark)
"I mean, if anything, by spending your free time in the bedroom, a place you intimately associate with Keiko, you are actually expressing a desire to be closer to her during her absence. It's quite touching, really."
- Julian Bashir (Hippocratic Oath)
Julian telling Miles that Keiko won't be happy with him turning her profession into a hobby in HoQ and then telling Miles exactly what Keiko needs to hear in HO (because, let's be real, Keiko saying Miles is subconsciously trying to push her out of their quarters is just her feeling homesick and projecting her fears when she really just wants to know that she's missed).
Julian/Keiko REAL and BEAUTIFUL
What are your top 5 favourite things about Miles/Keiko/Julian?
I got this ask and this was immediately what happened:
Me: *has over 110,000 words of a fic written for them so far*
Also Me: What DO I like about them?? What a question indeed.
I tried loll...
1) They present a fun challenge in how they would come to be. In my fic for them it's like the slow burn journey of two hopped up polyamorous bisexuals and the seemingly monogamous heterosexual man between them.
2) They're the embodiment of an anxiety cheetah with two emotional support Labradors. They're two wolves shaking a rabbit between their teeth.
3) Keiko is so funny and hot and she deserves to be doted upon. Miles is a wife guy for a reason, any person he would be with would need to intimately understand that, and I think Julian would excel at this.
4) I've grown so soft for Julian co-parenting Molly and Yoshi. Those are his kids now, or more like that's their 'top of his class in pediatrics' bonus father now. Molly absolutely owns that man, I just know it.
5) I think the presence of a genuine connection between Julian and Keiko somehow makes the relationship between Julian and Miles softer and deeper, and keeps the relationship between Keiko and Miles solid while at the same time letting them be shaken up a bit.
Slow and Steady Fic Chapter 14: Armageddon Game
Did I just write about 4500 words from the perspective of of a nine-year-old Molly throwing her stuffed targ Piggy a huge birthday party with Benjamin Sisko's backing for one of the seventh season chapters of my Slow and Steady Julian x Keiko x Miles fic?
Why yes, yes I did.
Slow and Steady Fic Chapter 11: Cardassians
Keiko having an extremely erotic past with Deanna Troi wherein their bond transcends marriage despite no longer including sex?
A Geordi x Julian x Data threesome?
In MY Julian x Keiko x Miles fic? It's more likely than you think.
